Blizzard of '08


The Blizzard of '08 is over and estimates say Cleveland got hit with between 20 and 24 inches of snow between Friday afternoon and Saturday night! That's amazing. Today was "nice" in terms of a letup from the snow. The major streets have gotten plowed and salted. Here on my street, not so lucky. The photo above is my car as it was Saturday afternoon around 2, before I ventured out for a trip to the grocery store to stock up for the rest of the day and today. I got home Friday at 4:30 and had not touched my car until I decided to go shopping and took the picture. I got stuck at the end of the street going to the store and got stuck again on the way back at almost the same spot.

The photo above is of our oldest Scottish Terrier, Fiona. Fiona is seven years old and loves to play outside in the snow.

Some media outlets treated this like it was being overblown, and others salivated over the coverage.

I was fortunate to be on the road before rush hour started on Friday. I was listening to the radio and the host of the show felt that the weather wasn't as important as he was and if they wanted to hear weather and traffic they should listen elsewhere.

Cliff...I think I know the "media outlet" you are referring to. The Big One could also mean Mike Trivisonno.

As far reaching as WTAM's signal is, this snowstorm was an ideal for their newsteam.
